Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Its impossible to quantify, but it really feels like most people have just had enough.
He was already on shaky ground, but then he let Israel talk him into this stupid war, which was a basic campaign promise. Not only did it violate an important campaign promise, but it wrecked his other campaign promise to lower prices.
And EVERYONE can see it. He can try to blame it on Biden or Obama, but there isn't a single person in America that thinks this is anyone's doing but Trump's.
When we look back, this war will be where it turned. After the Midterms, when this war is still going because he can't stop thinking out loud, he won't have the support of anyone except about 18%, his dumbest diehard loyalists.
He's going to pivot to religion. His last two years will include a lot of religious rhetoric, that God wants him to lead American Christianity into the future, and he will openly feud with the Pope.
Oh I'd say there's a out 1/4-1/3 of the country that will still blame literally ANYONE except their orange kid-diddling god emperor
Oh, yeah, he'll always have supporters, but that's good. They will identify themselves for us as the worst of the worst in our society. These are the people who are cool with corruption, treason, pedophilia, etc., just so they can exercise their racism.
On the future, these people should get no benefit of the doubt by society. If they're misbehaving they should get the maximum punishment.
I was going for a walk around my neighborhood yesterday and there was some real winner walking around in a FAFO tshirt with the pedo's face on it. What a fucking loser
Yup. I unfortunately live among many of them, still proudly wearing their Trump hats and bumper stickers and waving the MAGA flag. I personally would be utterly embarrassed to do that at this point, but stupid people don't tend to be very self-aware.
